It’s Christmas Eve and Rory Andrews is desperate to get home to the family she hasn’t seen in years. Problem is, her only ride to Lake Tahoe comes in the form of the annoyingly handsome Max Stranton, and his big, goofy, lovable dog Carl.

Hours stuck in a truck with the dead sexy Max sounds like a fate worse than death (not), but Rory’s out of options. She’s had a crush on Max since high school and she knows he’s attracted to her, too. But they have history… and Max is the only one who knows why it went south.

They’ve done a good job of ignoring their chemistry so far, but a long road trip in a massive blizzard might be just what they need to face their past… and one steamy, snowy night is all it takes to bring Max and Rory together at last.

Rory Andrews was actually going home! To a place she left 6 years ago;
Rory had left in her junior year, after setting off a chain of events, that
changed everyone's life. She had worked hard and got her GED and had been
barely making ends meet at the South Bark Mutt Shop, but Rory had been getting
her life together and was determined not to let her family down, like she had
for the past 6 years. But instead of taking trains and buses to Tahoe, she
somehow ended up with Max! the man whom hated her! And his dog Carl, that loved
her!

Max Stranton had lost everything when Rory handed a tape into their high school
before she quit town, and despite the fact that he had a great job and life, he
still harbored some resentment to Rory…that, and a heck of a lot of sexual
frustration. But when Willa talked Max in to giving Rory a ride home (not that
it took much), he wasn't expecting to have his whole opinion of her change.

One Snowy Night is an amazing story! It gives me that A Christmas Carol
feeling that, where everyone gets a chance at a fresh start. I LOVE Rory's
character, I loved her when she was in The Trouble with Mistletoe, but she
really comes into her own in this novella. Max has also shown a side we haven't
seen before; a softer side, that makes him seem a little more softer…and more
delicious.

The plot and writing in this book is truly superb! And I have to say
that I have really fallen in love with this Jill Shalvis series! And One Snowy
Night is my favorite one so far! And I hope it never ends!!
